To
Whomsoever it may concern

Sir / mam,
I, am, pranay kumar pandey from sector-21 of kharghar node. I am addressing the grievance on the behalf of all of my friends and teammates. There is a ground named sachin park / sachin ground (In sector-21) wherein we (Players) plays diverse games ranging from badminton, football, kabaddi to cricket. The matter of concern for we players is illegal occupying of various part of the ground. One half of the ground is acclaimed and occupied by the cricket coaching academy. They've built nets on the ground and disallow and deplore people other than the academy's players going there. The coaches have also built a concrete pitch. Upon going they shout, yell and had once about to wage physical attack on one of our teammate. We are considering and terming these constructions (Modifications) as illegal since none of them are mentioned in the ground layout plan outside the park!

We players are in need of intervention of authorities to make them vacate the ground and also initiate the removal of nets from the ground as early as possible. These changes would bring back the richness of the ground and maximum area can be utilised by everyone for playing. At present barely 70-74% is utilised wherein removal can increase the number to 90-93.5%. The illegal encroachment by cricketers' is not only a single issue. During festivals, political parties build tents and destroy the ground by concretising. This has lead to very large number of injuries to players and is increasing day-by-day.

We also suggest the officers in-concerned departments to survey every possible things on the ground [sachin park; as early as possible] in-person and all the gardens and grounds across kharghar. This issue will be found everywhere.

We have very high hopes with administration. Please address the grievance and intervene in the minimum time possible.

Thanking you

Regards
Players of sector-21, kharghar.
